This guide describes a field detection method for the metallic sheath current of single-conductor shielded Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulated AC cables rated from 69 kV to 500 kV, including the current detection method, safety requirements, and the diagnostic criteria for defects in a metallic sheath bonding system. The diagnostic criteria in this document can be referenced for other extruded insulation cables whose installation and metallic sheath grounding systems are similar to the specified XLPE cables.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
